I recently came back to the game after several years off, and my paladin is 82 with ~1200aa in mostly T1 HoT gear. In the past, I would 3 box with a shaman and a berserker. However, I am now going to be limited to 2 boxing and the shaman is not an option. My berserker is level 80, but on the same account I've got a level 70 beastlord. They both only have 150ish AA, and their gear is all outdated anyways. The berserker does have epic 2.0 while the beastlord does not.
Which would be my better option going forward? I'm looking at potentially boxing HoT missions at some point. I'm guessing I'd end up using a cleric merc and a dps merc.
Things I am considering:
1) Who would provide the most dps, both by their contribution and any buffs/effects that would increase my paladins. Assume no outside buffs other than what the paladin brings.
2) Who has the best utility? Beastlord I am guessing. Do they still have a viable slow?
3) Which would be easiest to box? I'll be alt-tabbing between the 2 accounts, so having to micro-manage abilities is a negative.
The only time the box account will really be used is when playing by myself, so I am most interested in the character that will best allow me to do harder content.
